I think OotP will be easier to adapt because even though it's so long, there are fewer Big!Major!Scenes! -- the problem with GoF is that the structure of the tournament means you HAVE to have a major action scene every 10 minutes. There's just no getting around it.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Good luck with the move Juliana! I keep wanting to tell you you're going to make it after all.

Yes, that definitely makes sense. I hope you're right about OotP.

Yeah, Juliana, don't know what to say, but we're okay, in any event.

I suspect the OotP movie will be very different than the book with the need to condense.

It might actually be better. So many pages, and the glayvin.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If Dr. Seuss wrote for Star Trek: The Next Generation...
Picard: Sigma Indri, that's the star,
So, Data, please, how far? How far?
Data: Our ship can get there very fast
But still the trip will last and last
We'll have two days til we arrive
But can the Indrans there survive?
Picard: LaForge, please give us factor nine.
LaForge: But, sir, the engines are offline!
Picard: Offline! But why? I want to go!
Please make it so, please make it so!
Riker: But sir, if Geordi says we can't,
We can't, we mustn't, and we shan't,
The danger here is far too great!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Juliana, much strength to you in your new directions.
There was a verbal cancellation of a meeting at 9am this morning at a different site, but the meeting owner hasn't cancelled it on the system. Why must people confuse me so?
Off we go...

Well, I decided that this guy's meeting track record was sufficiently poor that I'd stay at my desk. It's not like I haven't been calling and e-mailing him for half an hour to find out the meeting status.
So unrelatedly: iPod vibrator. Like they weren't sexy enough before.

Move-ma for juliana (specifically hassle-free-move-ma). I hate moving in the same town or state; I can't even begin to ponder the thought of 2000 miles into the quasi-unknown.
